55 years ago this week the 101st Airborne was surrounded by the Germans in the Battle of the Bulge. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S… The town of Bastogne was critical to the German advance. All America was watching those brave men holding out in that Belgian town–the battered bastards of Bastogne.

The Germans asked the Americans that they surrender. General McAuliffe sent his famous response “NUTS”!

On December 27, 1944, General Patton’s Third Army broke the siege.

Bloggers are going to break the siege this time led by General Instapundit.
